Gateway have bought eMachines. Gateway have an exclusive deal with Intel - as part of that deal they cannot sell and AMD based machines. Therefore the 6807 has had to be dropped. Bad news for AMD, and bad news for consumers.

I am in the UK and would LOVE to buy an M60, but the price is DOUBLE the 8600. I know you are paying for a decent quality chassis and construction, but the performance is very similar. Come on Dell, drop the price of the M60 in the UK...
